After 20 years of personal study, I released my own analysis of the monetary system, providing the essential information every American should understand about how our monetary system is responsible for the creation, growth, and perpetuation of debt, and the declining value of our money, incomes, savings, and investments. The information has been released in various forms to encourage its dissemination.

THIS IS A MUST READ REPORT. It is so important, in fact, a PDF version has been created. It can be viewed and downloaded from here (find the image of the report and click on it). The report documents a systematic and scientifically-operated scheme for controlling people, societies, and governments using various tools, chief among them the monetary systems of the various nations.

U.S. CONSTITUTION

Michael Badnarik's class on the U.S. Constitution is well worth viewing. It is long, so you may want to view it a few videos at a time.

Aaron Russo was the producer of Trading Places, Wise Guys, and The Rose. After befriending one of the Rockefellers and learning of the elites' plan for global governance, he dedicated his life to waking people up. He produced the Mad As Hell documentaries, and his final film Freedom To Fascism. Upon his death in 2007 at the age of 64, his website Restore The Republic was handed off to Gary S. Franchi Jr..

David Horowitz, a former member of the New Left and now an American conservative, has a lot to say that is worth hearing.

Yuri Bezmenov was a Soviet spy assigned to further Communism in India. In time, he grew to love the Indian people and resent the KGB oppression, which resulted in his defection to the West. His 1980s anti-Communist lectures and books are worth studying.

Robert Welch gave a speech in 1958 predicting the 10-point plan to subordinate the United States to a Communist world government.

WORLD GOVERNMENT

Norman Dodd exposes a conspiracy to subjugate the United States and other nations of the world to a World Government. As chief investigator in 1953 for the Reece Committee into tax-exempt foundations, he had access to information not normally available outside government, from which he concluded tax-exempt foundations (such as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Rockefeller Foundations, Ford Foundation, and others) were using tax-exempt foundations to move tax-free money into tax-exempt organizations designed to bring about world government, in part through control of education. A very credible individual, well worth your time. - Norman Dodd: The Hidden Agenda for World Government. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Charlotte Iserbyt talks about the dumbing down of the world. She "served as Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education, during the first Reagan Administration. Ever since, she's been exposing how educational systems throughout the world have been gradually, and by design, homogenized under UNESCO coordination. The purpose has been to create a dumbed down, collectivized, easily manageable, global population that could be transitioned to a world governance system run on a Soviet type system -- a global slave plantation -- for the benefit of the dominant global hierarchy of world bankers and 'noble' families."

Article 1, Section 8 contains the enumerated powers of Congress. The Founding Fathers were specific in their aims to limit the powers of the Federal Government as they were specific in granting Congress only 17 named subjects upon which Congress may legislate, healthcare, is not mentioned and thus falls under the jurisdiction of the 10th Amendment;
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
We can look at the opinion of James Madison;
" I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." James Madison
There have been many who question if the "Commerce Clause" in Article 1, Section 8, clause 1, allows Congress to legislate healthcare, I would be more than happy to opine on that in another post.

As I said in the prior post, Obamacare is clearly beyond the authority granted to Congress within the Constitution.
Even stretching the "Commerce Clause" or the "General Welfare Clause" to grant power to Congress for this legislation is unreasonable;
" As to pertaining to Congress' grant to regulate commerce which grew out of the abuse of the power by the importing States in taxing the non-importing, and was intended as a negative and preventive provision against injustice among the States themselves, rather than as a power to be used for the positive purposes of the General Government." James Madison
The Commerce Clause was created to enforce the several clauses that limits states from taxing interstate commerce, banning interstate commerce and the like, to make commerce between the states "Regular".
The "General Welfare Clause" only relates to the general welfare of the GOVERNMENT, not the People.

"With respect to the two words 'general welfare,' I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." Thomas Jefferson

" If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress... Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America." James Madison

Article 1, Section 7 Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution;
" All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
If the healthcare legislation raises one cent in revenue, the house CANNOT vote on the Senate bill as it did not originate in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may vote on the House bill.
There is a push by some Democrats to use an obscure tactic call "Deeming and Passing", which it to vote on parts of the Senate bill as an amendment, but not to actually have an up or down vote on the legislation and DEEM that it has passed muster.
I can find no evidence that the "Deem and Pass" has ever been tried in American history.

Currently, 36 States are looking at legislation to prohibit the Federal Government from enacting Federal Healthcare Legislation mandates upon the citizens of those states.
This is further backed by four rulings by appellate courts, further backed by the U.S. Supreme Court in N.Y. v U.S., Prince v U.S., Lopez v U.S. and in Morrison v U.S.; all cases where the appeals court ruled that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution did not give the federal government absolute authority under the Commerce Clause and that the Commerce Clause could not be stretched outside of the enumerated powers authorized in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

Be aware, BOTH bills enact a penalty of as much as a year in prison, a $25,000 fine and forfeiture of property.

I reckon if you want to know what the US Constituion words means in a "US Supreme Court Justice type of way," the best place to look is at what the people that wrote them said they meant. Nelson Ward has provided solid evidence of what they meant.

As you know, one Constitutional way to implement a National Health Care Plan, is to provide a Constitutional Amendment that would require 3/4 of the states to ratify.

It should exclude the pressure from special intrests and Corporate lobbyists to make our politicians tell the American people what they are going to give them and call it a Health Care bill. How many shifty perks were done behind closed doors, to get this Thunder Lizard Tax Bill as far as it is?

Seems to me that their selling point of the bill is "while you cant always get what you want, sometimes you can get what you need. A problem with this bill, is too many people have come to believe that "something" is better than "nothing," without knowing what the "something" is.

My belief is that IF there is going to be a National Health Care bill, which invokes such radical changes in the US Health Care Industry, then it should be thoughtfully hammered out to resolve serious problems learned from our Veterans Hospitals, and Medicare programs, with efficent and effective checks and balances put in place to ensure it works, as intended.

No doubt, the lawyerly politician will tell us that the House and Senate are all powerful as they can make any law they want. However, they can also make themselves exempt from those laws as well. Apparently, the American People have accepted that its elected officials are the privileged elite.

Doesn't it seem poignantly contrary that Congress is attempting to pass a Heath Care Bill, that requires, under penalty of law, every American Citizen be enrolled, and yet makes Congress exempt?

Certainly, whether you think we want/need a Health Care bill, or not, a Constitutional Amendment could produce a simpler, cleaner, more strategic Health Care bill, which in theory, should involve the Doctors and Patients' input, open doors with C-Span coverage, and a Congress that lives under it as well.

How many ways can this "Healthcare Bill" be unconstitutional?
1. Congress has NO authority in Article 1, Section 8, to legislate healthcare, not under the Commerce Clause nor the General Welfare Clause.
2. Requiring Citizens to buy health insurance; pay a fine, or tax and or suffer jail time:
A. Any punitive tax would be a violation of Article 1, Section 9, clause 3; "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."
There are two definitions of "Bill of Attainder"; 1. "an act of the legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them without benefit of a trial." 2. "a punitive tax"
B. Also violating the 5th Amendment; "or be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law".
C. Also violating the 4th Amendment; "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
D. Also violating the 6th Amendment; "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. (yes, it is spelled with a "c' in the Bill of Rights)
E. Also violating the 8th Amendment; "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
3. Prohibiting citizens from acquiring a loan for education from a bank or lending institution and thus enacting law that requires all student loans to be purchased from the Federal Government, violating Article 1, Section 8.
4. As the House of Representatives may not vote on a bill that raises Revenue, the House may not legally vote and pass into law, the current Senate bill as it did not originate in the House and raises revenue and is in violation of Article 1, Section 7, clause 1; "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
5.
A; Upon any violation of the Constitution, violators and all violations are subject to Article 6, clause 2;
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
B; And, also Article 6, clause 3; "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
6. As Congress has no authority to enact healthcare legislation, authority would fall to the 10th Amendment, thus this legislation violates the 10th Amendment. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

I have seen numerous cases where plaintiffs were informed that they had no "standing" to bring actions, even when it seemed evident that they were harmed and had just cause to seek redress. Undoubtedly, there will be multiple suits over the Obamacare disaster bill. The defendents and courts will attempt to parry these suits by claining lack of standing and jurisdiction. Please discuss your thougts on this and how those can be counteracted.

Courts use lack of standing to avoid hearing cases, George. It is past time that the PEOPLE held these courts accountable for refusing to support and defend the Constitution and claiming no one has been injured by a violation of the Constitution, yet, the Constitution is the only thing that allows the courts to operate and pass judgement and the Constitution and violations thereof, affect every citizen. The courts are bound by Article six, clauses 2 and 3, to hear these cases;
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
